Backwards in High Heels, a Musical About Film Star Ginger Rogers

International City Theatre presents a new musical about the golden age of Hollywood. Backwards in High Heels depicts the life and times of actress, dancer and singer Ginger Rogers, one of Hollywood's all-time biggest stars and best known for her partnership with Fred Astaire. Other characters in the musical include Jimmy Stewart, Ethel Merman and Katherine Hepburn.

Great performances by the talented and versatile cast...wonderful classic hits by Berlin, Porter, Gershwin and Kern along with original, new music. Storyline choronology somewhat out of sequence and production values low-bugeted and not polished....continued

The performers were good and I enjoyed the dancing and how they summarized Ginger's life via song and dance. Minimal props/set. My first time in this intimate theater. Beautiful place, and I had a fairly good seat.
